The name then appeared as a <i>nomen nudum</i> in several papers (Meyen 1834a: 107, 1834b: 475; Lichtenstein 1835: 29, 1854: 92) and its authorship has been confused. Sclater (1889: 184) and Scott (1910: 324) attributed the name to Burmeister (1861: 503), but Ridgway (1919: 281) traced it back to Burmeister (1856: 374). Richmond (s.d.) attributed the species name to Meyen (1834a) without explanation. Hellmayr & Conover (1948b: 191) argued that Meyen (1834a: 107) based the species on “Chorlito à dos noir” of Azara (1809: 280) and that the name is thus available with Meyen (1834a) as its author. Meyen (1834a: 107) indeed listed “Chorlito à dos noir d’Azara” in the references section on <i>Tringa dorsalis</i>, but he did not discuss it in the main part of the entry and there is no evidence that he equated his <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> with Azara’s “Chorlito à dos noir”. We thus conclude that this reference does not qualify as an indication under Article 12.2 of the International code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999). The name thus should be attributed to Burmeister (1856).</p> <p> Burmeister (1856: 374) did not specify the type series, because he believed that the species was described by Lichtenstein, but indicated that the species was recorded in “Süd-Brasilien, Montevideo, Chili ” (“southern Brazil, Montevideo, Chile ”), referring to Meyen (1834a), Vieillot (1823: “1089” = 1088 sub “ <i>Tringa melanotos</i> ”) and Azara (1805: 317 sub “Chorlito lomo negro” = Chorlito del lomo negro). These hints as to the type series are analyzed as follows:</p> <p> Meyen (1834a: 107, 1834b: 475) collected a single specimen on 6 April 1831 at the village of “Piche-Pichun” [= Pichupichuni, Peru]. This syntype was deposited in the ZMB (Lichtenstein 1832) and is identified as <i>Calidris melanotos</i>. Vieillot (1819: 462, 1823: 1088) based his <i>Tringa melanotos</i> exclusively on Azara’s (1805) “Chorlito [del] lomo negro”, which reduces the number of Burmeister’s sources. Azara (1805: 317, 1809: 280) collected a single specimen that was never in the ZMB and was apparently lost long ago (see Beddall 1975, 1983). Azara’s syntype was indeed <i>Calidris melanotos</i> as currently understood (see Wetmore 1926: 153; Hellmayr 1932: 394; Hellmayr & Conover 1948b: 191).</p> <p> Burmeister studied ZMB collections during 1852–1856 (Landsberg 1993), when the ZMB housed four catalogued <i>dorsalis</i> from “Trop. America” according to Lichtenstein (1854: 92). These specimens qualify as syntypes. The inventory catalogue of the ZMB shows that they included the Meyen bird, a Deppe bird from Mexico, a Bachmann bird from Chile, and a Sellow bird from Uruguay (see above for details on these specimens). There are two additional specimens in the ZMB which were stored as skins until 1856. They were probably planned for auction and thus were not inventoried before 1857. One of them was collected by Friedrich Sello in Montevideo and the other one by or for the Besckes (ZMB 21714 and ZMB 2000/28552, respectively). Both were determined as <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> (most probably by Lichtenstein) and belong therefore to the type series. ZMB 2000/ 28552 was probably mentioned as no. 774 in Lichtenstein’s auction catalogue of 1835. The specimens were never exchanged and ZMB 21714 was mounted after 1857. The taxonomic identity of the lost Bachmann specimen is unclear.</p> <p> Burmeister (1856: 374) reported the species from Brazil. He might have done this in error, or he might have examined one or more specimens from Brazil. If so, this specimen(s) would also belong in the type series. However, we were not able to find any such specimen and if it/they existed, then its/their taxonomic identity is unclear. The IZH, where Burmeister’s South American collections are deposited, possesses two <i>Calidris melanotos</i>. IZH-V 7864 lacks a historical label and any historical information. IZH-V 7863 bears a historical label with old inventory number 210 and an inscription indicating that Burmeister collected the bird at “ Mendoza ”. In the IZH inventory catalogue of 1861, <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> is mentioned with one specimen (no. 211) from Mendoza. Under number 210 two specimens of “ <i>Tringa Bartramia</i> ” (species described by Wilson 1813: 63) collected in Mendoza are listed, of which one was mounted. Burmeister (1861) listed one specimen of <i>Totanus Bartramia</i> and an unspecified number of <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> as having been collected without giving any collector’s or inventory numbers. However, all these specimens were collected at Mendoza, a city in Argentina, not in Brazil, and Burmeister collected the birds there after 1856 (Burmeister 1861). Thus, the Mendoza specimens do not belong to the type series of <i>Tringa dorsalis.</i></p> <p> Considering these data, the type series of <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> Burmeister, 1856 included the syntypes listed above, a specimen from Paraguay described by Azara (1805: 317 sub “Chorlito del lomo negro”, 1809: 280 sub “Le Chorlito a dos noir”), and perhaps specimen(s) collected by Burmeister in Brazil or further specimens at the collection in Halle which were exchanged. This type series thus includes <i>Calidris melanotos</i> (Vieillot, 1819) (Azara specimen and five surviving ZMB specimens) and unidentified <i>Calidris</i> species. Considering that taxonomically unidentified syntypes are not extant, <i>Tringa dorsalis</i> Burmeister, 1856 becomes a junior subjective synonym of <i>Tringa</i> (= <i>Calidris</i>) <i>melanotos</i> Vieillot, 1819. This is in agreement with the opinion of most previous authors (see above). No lectotypification is needed here unless one or more lost syntypes are rediscovered and identified as representatives of species other than <i>melanotos</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Mlíkovský, Jiří & Frahnert, Sylke, 2017, Type specimens and type localities of birds (Aves) collected during F.

The impact of the corona virus 2019 on education: Challenges related to distance learning for children of the preparatory classes (5–6 year-olds)
No full textThe implementation of preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 in Kosovo resulted in
the closure of educational institutions for all levels of education. The transitioning process from
face-to-face to virtual or online classes’ format was also coordinated for pre-school children,
enabling their development at home. The research aims to shed light on the problems, needs, and
difficulties the children of preparatory classes, their parents, and teachers face since the implementation of distance learning measures. For completing this survey, a qualitative research
design was used. The empirical research was carried out through discussion in focus groups and
semi-structured interviews. Our sample included 22 teachers and 22 parents of children and six
leaders, from two municipalities of Kosovo, in Pristina and Gjilan, with a total of 50 respondents.
The results of the research show that the new circumstances created as a result of the COVID-19
spread, including changes in education, have caused a range of difficulties for children, parents and
teachers in Kosovo. Findings from the study confirm the common concerns of the reporting groups
concerns, and assessments about the education achieved by the end of the school year 2019/2020.
These concerns have been influenced by the lack of experienced teachers and parents have in
supporting their pupils or children in online learning, the inadequate level of skills and knowledge in
the use of technology, the absence of children in school environments, the inability to socialize and
cooperate with peers, low attention and concentration in learning, and loss of creative skills, which
can cause issues in the period of first-grade learning

Cooperation of preschool institutions with parents toward early childhood education
No full textPreschool education, especially institutionalized preschool education, is exceptional for early childhood. In this context, cooperation with the parents is considered vital for children‟s education. Very often, parents are not aware of their fundamental role in their children‟s education and development, through different ways of cooperation. This research addresses the partnership between parents and preschool institutions (hereafter: PSI), and the relation of this partnership with factors such as communication, school environment, parents transferring their professional experience to children, and parents’ access to preschool education curricula and policies, all of which serve to improving children‟s early education. The research is carried out through a quantitative approach with parents (N=60) and a qualitative approach with educators, examining the challenges and needs for the improvement of this cooperation, as well as the role and the opportunities of both parties towards the realization of a more effective cooperation
